OT Jeff: Re: "I was wondering, can a person be complacent and greedy at the same time? Does one have to be greedy first and then be complacent? Or is it better to be complacent first and then move on to being greedy? Is it just a phenomenon of AMAT longs that they are the only ones in the universe that can be complacent and greedy at the same time? Is it physically possible to chew gum at the same time one is being greedy and complacent?" Yes, go ahead and keep wondering if that is how you wish to spend your free time. And while you are wondering about this topic, go back to my posts and see if you may have misrepresented what I have said. I think so. You seem to be fixated on this topic for whatever reason and are now repeating yourself. Re: "Egos that can't seem to respect others are shipped directly to the Skeeter Gulag or to Rillinois Hell." Speak for yourself if you wish but I have never compared you to those two posters. I am not sure why you continue to bring up Skeeter as an issue between you and me on the AMAT thread. Seems like that thing should only matter to Skeeter and me. But Skeeter and I have moved on and have gotten over it. Maybe you should follow our lead.

You know, it never ceases to amaze me that people can take someone else's stock decisions so personally. If your results meet your goals, why worry about how anyone else is doing? Disliking your stock is not the same as telling you that you're ugly or your kids are stupid. You were right about AMAT this month. You might be wrong next month. Don't gloat about how smart you are until you've taken your profits off the table. Until then, they're just paper. Katherine
